You mention "natural law." Thomas Aquinas often refers to
animal inclinations in his account of natural law--for example,
in explaining parental care and mating. Aquinas was influenced
by Aristotle's biology--particularly as filtered through Albert
the Great's zoology. Much of this biological reasoning for
natural law is confirmed by modern biology. So why couldn't
this be introduced into an undergraduate class along with
readings from Aquinas?
